Slow, slow, slow (III) !

[Claudio González]

The thread with this name that was closed with no explanation did serve a useful purpose, so I am opening a new one to replace it.

Speed is back to normal now, and if there was a shutdown, I wasn't here to witness it.

[Claudio González]

Speed is very variable right now over here, but always on the slow side.

Addition: 23 seconds to post this message.

[Guest]

been fast here since the upgrades.

[Jacob Bugge]

John, thank you for the advice. I will consider it.

Fast as usual, now that I am back, maybe even faster than before. And I only had to login once in one forum after restarting.

[Claudio González]

I forgot to mention yesterday that everything went back to normal a few minutes after my post.

[Kath-H]

Well I never! The last day or two I've been seeing that phenomenon where only the last post shows up, with no previous one for context. Never seen it before. Maybe I'll finally get the dreaded slow-downs :(

[Claudio González]

[Guest]

After a month of relative speediness, it's back to speeds between slow and stop.

Afterthought: Maybe it's those threads of 1000 or more messages!

Naaaahhh...Short threads or long, in whatever forum you choose, I don't think load times are affected by them.

At least, they shouldn't be.

[Guest]

fast here.

[PJonesCET]

Can't say I've had any load problems for a while. But my luck is the minute I brag on something all heck breaks loose. :-)

[Ramón G Castañeda]

It was darn slow in the last two hours or so. Getting better now.

[John T Smith]

Very spotty performance the past several days (Vancouver WA USA) with some clicks leading to a screen display in about a second, and others taking up to about half a minute

I have no idea if that is Adobe's servers, or general Internet traffic

About traffic... had a discussion with one of our IT staff a few days ago about spam

I work at a branch campus of a University, with about 900 employees and 4-5 thousand students, so about 6k email accounts

I was told that our AVERAGE daily incoming spam count is about 300k, with one day a few weeks ago of just over one million messages (99+ percent are captured by our dedicated spam "device" but a few do get through... I receive about a dozen a day... while the software in the "device" adjusts to new parameters entered from the "device" home base... I think it is a "Barracuda" device)

Anyway, with that number just at this small place, it boggles my mind to think about the number of messages flying around, and clogging up, the Internet on a daily basis

I guess I am surprised that ANYTHING gets through on a timely basis

well, tubes do get clogged! :)

[Kath-H]

Tubes are clogged right now - even if the page turns up at all, the css often doesn't.

[Guest]

And of course here it's like greased lightning!

[~graffiti]

More like a greased weasel here.

[Guest]

More like a weasel without the grease

FWIW, I did see a few minutes where the CSS files were not loading properly with some slowdown. But it has not been persistent.

[Kath-H]

No, fine now. @ JJ ;)

[D__McCahill]

I thought that I had lost my CSS, when the light blue stuff all disappeared. Turned out I had reset the monitor to see a dark photo better (I hate LCD).

I shoulda known that it would have gone to Times if I had no CSS.

[john_cornicello__retired_]

When the CSS files don't load up correctly you will see underlined links, not just different colors. It is very obvious.

I've AdBlocked the Adobeforums CSS in Firefox because I prefer to use my own settings. So I have no idea what colors are default for links-n-stuff. Plus, I prefer Trebuchet over almost all other fonts for reading a lot of material online...the Adobeforums user control panel could allow me that choice with a 5 minute code tweak.

TESTIFY , MY BROTHER!!! CAN I GET AN AMEN!?

[Guest]

why is that smiley licking it's eyeball? :P

[Guest]

Those poor old WebX servers seem to be creaking again. :(

[PJonesCET]

could be I had one message that took a few erta seconds to load up. Haven't had that in a while.
